We’re thrilled to welcome Dr. Jiahui (Jacob) Wang as the newest member of our lab! Jacob joins us with a PhD in Physiology, Cell and Developmental Biology from the University of Alberta and brings valuable industry experience from his previous role as a Scientist.
Jacob’s position is supported by the Canada Leads 100 Challenge through the University Health Network (UHN)—an ambitious initiative aimed at recruiting 100 world-leading early-career scientists to UHN. We’re proud that Jacob is among this exceptional cohort.
In his cutting-edge project, Jacob will draw on his industry-honed expertise to develop novel biomolecular tools to better characterize breast cancer stem cells, pushing the boundaries of what we can discover and achieve in this space.
